Confidence is one of the driving traits
that lead to the making of a lady boss. Whether you feel confident or
not, there are easy ways to wear the outfit of confidence that can be
broken down to what you do and how you interact with others.

Check out these 8 Simple Ways to Wear
Confidence like a Lady Boss:

What You Can Do

1. Smile

When you smile you exude positivity,
even if you may not feel it at the time. The simple act of smiling
triggers activity in the left frontal cortex part of your brain,
which makes you feel happy. A smile is an easy way to carry happiness
around with you.

Walking into a room with a positive
vibe makes you appear more attractive and confident. Why do you think
most people smile for a picture? Because we know we look and feel our
best with a smile.

Smiling not only makes you feel good,
but it also spreads onto others. Smiling is contagious. When you
brighten someone’s day with a smile, you are instantly etched into
their memory as one-of-a-kind.

2. Stand Tall

If you are not physically tall, you can
still appear grand through proper posture.

A perfect posture has great health
benefits and looks amazing! Slouching or crossing your arms can make
you appear defensive and unapproachable. By just straightening your
posture you look more graceful and appealing.

You don’t have to walk like you are
on a runway to look confident. Although it may sound pretty awesome,
it is not the most attractive way to walk in every day situations.
Picture strutting into a getty at your friends house like it’s a
fashion show; good for a laugh, but that may not help with your
confidence.

Walking with pride is simply picking up
your feet. In other words, try not to shuffle or drag your feet and
instead lengthen your stride. Also, maintain a natural, steady pace
and keep your arms at your side to demonstrate an open demeanor.

Most importantly, wear shoes that you
can actually walk in so you look like you own it and not like the
shoes own you.

Pay attention to any signs of
fidgeting, breathe in deeply, breathe out slowly, and stop the
motion. You will not only feel more in control, but you will look
like a boss.

How You Interact

1. Be Interested and Be Interesting

Be present whenever you are at a
social gathering. Show interest in your surroundings, especially the
people around. If you are on your phone or keep to yourself you
appear distracted, disinterested, and insecure.

2. Make Eye Contact

When you look people in the eye while
you communicate with them it demonstrates that you know what you are
talking about and that you are interested in what they have to say.

But it is also not polite to stare so
be sure to continue to glance around a bit. Think about it like
driving. You have your eyes mainly on the road in front of you, but
you occasionally peek at the rear and side view mirrors to be aware
of your environment. In this manner, if someone approaches to join
the conversation you can ease them in by making eye contact with them
as well.

3. Give and Receive Compliments

Complimenting others is a great way to
boost your confidence as well as theirs. When you make someone else
feel good or calm, you instantly become more likeable and attractive.
You also feel more comfortable once you can break the ice and make
someone smile which shatters fear and increases confidence.

Part of maintaining confidence with
compliments is in knowing how to receive them. We are focusing on
positive compliments and non-derogatory comments. If you give a look
of disgust or start to fidget because the compliment made you feel
uncomfortable, you appear guarded with a lack of self-love and
self-esteem.

Practice saying a simple, “thank you”
whenever you are complimented and feel free to compliment back if you
haven’t already. It is a win-win.

4. Don’t Take It Personal

There are times when we run across
people that may respond negatively to us regardless of doing all of
the above and sincerely being open and kind. The important part to
remember is that it is not all about YOU.

People have bad days, weeks, months and
years and can take out their pain on others. So if you get a sour
look or attitude from someone, don’t take it personal. Hurt people,
hurt people. Don’t stop being the beautiful and confident woman
that you are and can continue to be someone that eases pain and not
causes it.
